Question

Where does translation take place in eukaryotic cells.

Answer 1

Answer:

Eukaryotic mRNA precursors must be processed in the nucleus (e.g. capping, polyadenylation,splicing) in ribosomes before they are exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Translation can also be affected by ribosomal pausing, which can trigger endoneucleolytic attack of the tRNA , a process termed mRNA no go decay.

Answer 2

Translation occurs in the cytoplasm.
